Regan Smith pulled a stupid move and was forced below the line by his own dumb actions. Just because you get a bumper beside the car in front of you by jamming yourself between that car and the yellow line, that means the guy in front has got to give? What's that all about? The rules are the rules, and until they are changed.....tough! What's next for you guys, taking a shortcut down pit road? And who's whining now, NativeNevadian?

Juan was great in that little move, right back in line just where he was.

The best part of yesterday was everyone's darling from last week, you know, the guy who pulled a gutsy but hopeless move on the 48 in the last corner of the race, getting back to normal. The worst part of yesterday was the 'idiot'(his own word), took out half the field at the same time.

Go 20!

No fear of that rocket_car, I love NASCAR, so therefore I must be a 'redneck hillbilly!'

Two more for 'sport!' We probably all know the quote that is attributed to Hemingway, but probably wasn't his. Paraphrased it is something like this, "There are but three sports, bullfighting, mountain climbing and motor racing, the rest are just games." However, I am not going to tell a 350 lb. NFL lineman that he is only playing a silly game. I rather like the definition of a sport as, "If you may need an ambulance ride before it is over, then it is a sport."

And what is 'a sport' to you, Lenny_V? Be brave!

These days whining and finger pointing has become the norm with many drivers and even more fans. I am always mystified by the concept of the 'polite driver' -- what is that? What should we do, put horns and turn signals on race cars. "Excuse me, I'm going to try and pass you now. Why? Because you are ahead of me, and the concept is, I think, to get to the end of the race before you do." Now and then there are going to be what turn out to be stupid moves, but isn't that 'just racing.' They have all done it, yes, all, at one time or another.

Mike as a hood ornament, hmmmm! Naaaa!

If I have this right, Kansas is an ISC track. Their (read France) tracks that have two races are Daytona, Talladega, Richmond, Phoenix, Martinsville, Michigan and Fontana. OK, my vote would be either Michigan or Fontana. They are both boring, but then so is Kansas, with the exception of the last few laps, but most all tracks offer that. Any race date that is moved should be to Las Vegas ($$$$$$$$), but that is Bruton's track. Oh the hell with it, I just don't think Kansas should get a second race, period!
